Description
Currently, when creating an Xblock we have some basic markdown support such as using square brackets for creating a checkable list. However, we do not seem to have full markdown support. When creating an Xblock using the code formatter ticks '`', tries to create an algebraic formula rather than work as a code formmater.
We should fully support markdown in the Xblocks to enable staff to create a wide range of problems.

Research direction
Start by finding the XBlock code that handles square-bracket checklists and backtick formatting, then compare its current behavior with the requested Markdown support. Define which Markdown syntax must work and how it will be verified; the issue names no files, tests, or acceptance criteria, so its scope needs maintainer clarification.
